Carrick convinced by new Manchester United duo
Michael Carrick is convinced Michael Owen and Antonio Valencia will shine for Manchester United.
Ecuadorian international Valencia arrives at Old Trafford from Wigan Athletic in a £16million deal, and will be expected to help fill the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.
Whilst that signing was expected, the deal for former Liverpool ace Owen, on a free transfer from Newcastle United, was a shock, but he has scored freely in pre-season.
"Michael’s already done really well," Carrick told United Review ahead of the Valencia friendly at Old Trafford on Wednesday. "He’s a top player and I’m sure he’ll score lots of goals for us.
"Antonio joined us a little later for training so I’ve only seen a bit of him so far, but he's already shown what great qualities he has and I’m sure he’ll be a huge success."
